Does anyone have any tips for dealing with insomnia? I have been on second shift for nearly 9 years :-/. I get my days and nights mixed up sometimes. Other times it's 2-3 days awake. I get physically sick if I don't sleep enough. I have been known to sleep close to 48 hrs straight. I'm going to be on days at my new job this week. I have to be up at 5am and it's nearly 2am. I have tried a few things. I'm tired, but awake. Next week I go to my normal second shift. I think that'll be better. Any tips would be appreciated.
